The popular Mega Man series gets some love with the release of a new fan game called Mega Man 2.5D, one that took more than 8 years to create. This fan-made game is made by people who love the series, and blends 2D and 3D into a 2.5D platformer. Witness familiar sights and alongside brand new ones, including stages, enemies, a co-op mode featuring Protoman, vs mode, extras and achievements all in this one game!

Mega Man 2.5D is a fangame developed by a small team of obsessive Mega Man fans. It began in 2009 as an animated proof-of-concept. This got a surprising amount of positive response, and because of this a couple of us got together with the goal of making a playable game out of it.

There are mainly two things that set Mega Man 2.5D apart from most other Mega Man games. The first is the co-op mode, where two players team up to take on Dr. Wily. The other is the use of camera perspective changes which is featured a lot in the single-player mode of the game.

it's a C&D waiting to happen, isn't it?

i mean, its what happened to megama x street fighter too

It started as a fangame and capcom backed the project.

I just don't get it.

People, if you can make a fangame so great, just make your own unique video game. Seriously, stop wasting your time piggybacking on properties of companies. Make your own shit, never worry about C&Ds!

So it should just went the way of Galaxy trail's Freedom planet?

Yes it should go the way of Undertale, Yooka Laylee, and Stardew Valley.

There is no point spending time making fan games.
You got the skill, you got the resources, you can do it!

If it gets a C&D, I'll add it to my sig.

It has then been released on Street Fighters' anniversary.

Please link source because I don't see shit saying this on Capcom's SF anniversary site or MegaMan 2.5D's site.

Not this game, Streetfighter X Megaman game. Is a fan game published by capcom. Mega man 2.5D has no affiliation with capcom.

Capcom backed SF X MM and and gave it an official release on the capcom unity website with some free marketing too. All they asked of the dev was to release it on the anniversary on megaman.

Deceased Crab (YT Let's Player) has been doing 20XX which has been in early access a long time and it looks fun. The gimmick is the levels are randomly generated (but not bosses).

Inb4 C&D'd
Oh no

 

[ov3rkill]

OMG! That is freakin' awesome. By the way, how's Capcom handling this? I wish it would be like Sega where they welcome stuff like this.

I understand you, but would like to assert a notion.

Fangames are a great stepping stone for young ones to eventually reach this process. They provide a sort of template to understand and validate the development and release of a game. After that, though, it's up to them to give it a shot as an original game.

Psycho Waluigi was created by my indie partner and somewhat I, and we both had many fangames under our belt in the past. A lot of people thought it was great, and very polished, so now we're working on an original game. Hopefully others do this same sort of thing, even the developers of Megaman 2.5, perhaps?
